Université de Montréal Housing, ZUM & Off-campus Planning
UdeM residence and off-campus housing
UdeM describes up to 1,120 ZUM studios at the main campus, but applicants should not turn that capacity figure into a universal first-year guarantee. Verify the live application date, eligibility, studio category, contract term, price, and availability directly with ZUM.
ZUM residences on the main campus
UdeM describes up to 1,120 studios at the main campus on an eight-month September-to-April lease, heated, furnished, and connected. Verify the current studio types, contract dates, eligibility, application opening, and availability directly with ZUM.
Off-campus housing
UdeM’s student-life housing service provides Montréal market information, search tools, tenant-rights guidance, and individual appointments.
Campus-location check
Confirm where the program is actually taught before signing a lease. UdeM programs can use the mountain, MIL, Laval, Saint-Hyacinthe, Mauricie, and other sites.
| ZUM studio type | Latest published rate | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Studio simple | C$479 per month | 8.8 m², one person, 1,070 units. Single bed, vanity with sink, small refrigerator, and storage; bedding not included. |
| Studio double | C$781 per month | 16 m², one or two people, 32 units. Residents find their own roommate, and both occupants are jointly responsible for the lease. |
| Suite with private bathroom | C$901 per month | 18 m², one or two people, 8 units, with priority for women. |
| Adapted studio | C$479 per month | 14.85–16 m², reserved for students with motor disabilities or specialized-equipment needs, allocated through UdeM’s disability-support office. |
ZUM’s rate page does not label an academic year, so treat these amounts as the latest published evidence and confirm the current price, eligibility, and dates when reserving.
Match the lease to the campus
The mountain campus and MIL science campus are in different neighbourhoods, and some programs use Laval, Saint-Hyacinthe, Mauricie, or another site. Confirm the course location and commute before accepting a room or signing a Montréal lease.
Official Sources and Next Steps
